The story
The snake had been told the house was empty. It believed this until the third night, when it heard the fridge cycle on and realized the silence was not absence, but waiting. It had slipped in through the crack under the back door, drawn by the warmth and the scent of old peanut butter. Now, it lay still, scales dull in the harsh light, trying to decide whether to flee or wait for the human to return and apologize for leaving the door open. The sock, it noted with quiet despair, was definitely not theirs.
The brief
A beige copperhead snake coils nervously on a linoleum kitchen floor beneath a flickering fluorescent light, its head tilted slightly upward as if listening to the hum of a refrigerator, surrounded by empty cereal boxes and a single mismatched sock.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
